This looks more like a hangover from the festive season to me .....

Do the other species also practice mass sunbakes? I have seen individuals in various species around the world, but cannot recall ever seeing this groupie effect.

Quoting Lindsay & Diana Nothrop <>:

We are all familiar with magpies, mudlarks, choughs, currawongs, etc spread out on the ground in the sun as if dead or ga ga. Attached is the first mass sunbake that I have seen of our local tribe of choughs. There were 11 or 12 in this bunch.
